Braves signed LHP Leyson Septimo to a minor league contract.

The 29-year-old hurler appeared in eight games for Southern Maryland in the Independent Atlantic League in 2014, getting blasted for 11 runs in just 6 2/3 innings (14.85 ERA). He's nothing more than organizational depth at this point. Sat, Jan 10, 2015 12:05:00 PM

Leyson Septimo (shoulder) has been assigned to Triple-A Charlotte to begin his rehab assignment.

Septimo hasn't pitched since March 7 due to a strained left shoulder. The 27-year-old lefty is out of minor league options, so the White Sox will have to find room for him on the major league roster once his rehab assignment is up, or risk exposing him to waivers. He posted a 5.02 ERA and 14/6 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings with the White Sox in 2012.

Septimo hasn't pitched since Thursday due to an apparent arm injury, but the White Sox haven't disclosed the full extent of his symptoms. But that he's already throwing is an indication that it's not all that serious.

Leyson Septimo won't throw again until Monday due to an undisclosed injury.

Septimo left Thursday's Cactus League game with an apparent arm injury, but the White Sox haven't elaborated on his condition. However, that he's slated to throw again on Monday means that it's probably not a major concern.

Leyson Septimo left Thursday's Cactus League appearance with an arm injury.

Septimo exited with the trainer with two outs in the ninth after serving up a two-run homer earlier in the inning. White Sox manager Robin Ventura said that the left-hander was complaining about his arm, but he didn't offer more than that. Consider him out indefinitely for now.

White Sox placed LHP Leyson Septimo on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 14, with left biceps inflammation.

It's not clear at this point how long he'll be sidelined. Septimo has been dominant at Triple-A this year but hasn't been able to find the same success in his short time with the Sox. He's replaced in the pen by Hector Santiago.

Leyson Septimo was knocked around yet again, this time for five runs in only one inning of work on Monday.

The perennial minor leaguer has looked pretty bad this spring, particularly over his last five appearances (13 earned runs in 3 2/3 innings). His overall ERA is 15.95 through 7 1/3 frames. It is safe to say that the Leyson Septimo experiment is over.

Septimo, 26, became a free agent after being outrighted off Chicago's 40-man roster last month. The hard-throwing left-hander posted an underwhelming 5.30 ERA and 60/41 K/BB ratio over 56 innings at the Double-A level this season between the White Sox and Diamondbacks organizations.

A former outfielder, Septimo put up less than impressive numbers at the Double-A level this season in the White Sox and Diamondbacks organizations. The 26-year-old doesn't look ready to contribute at the big league level.

It sounds like Camargo isn't feeling as well as hoped after he went down with a right knee bruise last week. A return before the end of the month doesn't seem particularly likely. That means Dansby Swanson will get a longer run at shortstop.

Adonis Garcia is expected to miss two months following surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left ring finger.

It's been a frustrating season for the 32-year-old third baseman, who just missed a couple of weeks with an Achilles injury and now figures to be out until mid-to-late August. Garcia has also produced a weak .247/.282/.351 batting line in the time he has not been on the disabled list. Rio Ruiz is currently serving as the Braves' primary starter at third base.

Braves manager Brian Snitker said Matt Kemp (hamstring) will be the starter in left field when he returns from the disabled list.

Kemp will work out on Friday and if all goes well, he'll be activated Saturday versus Cincinnati. Matt Adams has been manning left field in Kemp's absence, though Snitker was clear that Kemp will be the starter upon his return. With Freddie Freeman back at first base full-time, it looks like Adams will be riding the pine for Atlanta.

Braves placed LHP Jacob Lindgren on the 60-day disabled list with a left elbow injury.

Lindgren, who turns 24 on Sunday, underwent Tommy John surgery last August and is expected to miss the entire 2017 season. The Braves signed him over the winter after he was non-tendered by the Yankees. They are willing to wait on his potential.
